Bear abilities

Bear only. Any reference to cat form have been removed for readability purposes.

Skill	Description	Frequency of Use
Bash	10 Rage 1 min cooldown. Stuns the target for 4 sec.	Low One of three interrupt abilities. Primarily for PvP, might not be reliable for bosses in PvE. Needs experimentation.
[Berserk]	3 min cooldown Lasts 15 sec. Clears the effect of Fear and makes you immune to Fear for the duration. Your Lacerate periodic damage has a 30% chance to refresh the cooldown of your Mangle ability and make it cost no rage. In addition, when activated this ability causes your Mangle ability to hit up to 3 targets and have no cooldown.	Low This is the bear's only anti-fear ability. You might not need it often, but keep it handy.
File:Ability Druid ChallangingRoar.png [Challenging Roar]	15 Rage 3 min cooldown Forces all nearby enemies within 10 yards to focus attacks on you for 6 sec.	Low Aggro panic button. Use when too many mobs get scattered. Be prepared to follow up with Thrash and Swipe, and start spreading around the Lacerates.
[Demoralizing Roar]	10 Rage The druid roars, reducing the physical damage caused by all enemies within 10 yards by 10% for 30 sec.	High This should be active at all times.
File:Ability Druid Enrage.png [Enrage]	1 min cooldown Generates 20 rage, and then generates an additional 10 rage over 10 sec, but increases physical damage taken by 10%.	Medium Gets the blood flowing before a fight. Works nicely with Feral Charge.
[Faerie Fire]	30 yd range 6 sec cooldown Decreases the armor of the target by 4% for 5 min. While affected, the target cannot stealth or turn invisible. Stacks up to 3 times. Deals (AP * 0.15 + 1) damage and additional threat when used in Bear Form.	Medium A great way to open a fight, and should be use on bosses whenever possible.
Feral Charge	5 Rage 8 - 25 yd range 15 sec cooldown Causes you to charge an enemy, immobilizing them for 4 sec.	Medium One of three interrupt abilities. Probably a standard opener to a fight.
[Frenzied Regeneration]	3 min cooldown Increases maximum health by 30%, increases health to 30% (if below that value), and converts up to 10 rage per second into health for 20 sec. Each point of rage is converted into 0.3% of max health.	Low Panic button. Use when the healer can't keep up with the damage.
[Growl]	30 yd range 8 sec cooldown Taunts the target to attack you, but has no effect if the target is already attacking you.	Medium Used to keep stray mobs in line. It's your job.
[Lacerate]	15 Rage Lacerates the enemy target, dealing (295 + (AP * 0.115)) damage and making them bleed for (5 * (23 + (AP * 0.0077))) damage over 15 sec, and causing a high amount of threat. Damage increased by attack power. This effect stacks up to 3 times on the same target.	High Part of the core rotation. Get a three stack as quickly as possible and maintain it.
[Mangle]	15 Rage 6 sec cooldown Mangle the target for 360% normal damage plus (290 * 360 / 100) and causes the target to take 30% additional damage from bleed effects for 1 min.	High This is a part of the core rotation.
[Maul]	30 Rage 3 sec cooldown An attack that instantly deals (8 + $ap * 0.36 - 1) physical damage. Effects which increase Bleed damage also increase Maul damage.	High After Lacerate and Pulverize, Maul can be used while waiting for Mangle cooldown.
[Pulverize]	15 Rage Deals 120% weapon damage plus additional (450 * 120 / 100) damage for each of your Lacerate applications on the target, and increases your melee critical strike chance by 3% for each Lacerate application consumed for 10 sec.	High Part of the core rotation. Use after getting the three stack of Lacerate.
[Skull Bash]	15 Rage 13 yd range 1 min cooldown You charge and skull bash the target, interrupting spellcasting and preventing any spell in that school from being cast for 5 sec.	Low One of three interrupt abilities.
[Stampeding Roar]	15 Rage 2 min cooldown The druid roars, increasing all nearby friendly players movement speed within 10 yards by 40% for 6 sec.	Never Don't even take this out of your spellbook.
[Survival Instincts]	3 min cooldown Reduces all damage taken by 50% for 12 sec. Only useable while in Bear Form or Cat Form.	Low This should be used when the heat is coming. This is can also be used in conjunction with Frenzied Regeneration for a more powerful panic button, but that's admitting that you don't know your fights.
[Swipe]	15 Rage 8 yd range 6 sec cooldown Swipe nearby enemies, inflicting 171 damage. Damage increased by attack power.	Almost never Cheaper but less effective than Thrash. Might be best used on a swarm of Critters.
Thrash	25 Rage 8 yd range 6 sec cooldown Deals AP0.154+243 damage, and causes all targets within 0 yards to bleed for (AP 0.026 + 151 * 3) damage over 6 sec.	High The main Bear AoE.
